Exploring The Restorative Grief Model
Mandy Capehart is a trauma-informed certified grief educator and coach through Transformation Academy and the David Kessler Grief Educator Certification program. The Restorative Grief model is a proprietary approach incorporating concepts from a variety of therapeutic models of support. Each client is uniquely supported to discover a new and personally meaningful pathway to healing for themselves in their whole selves – mind, heart, body, and spirit.
What you can expect:
Although coaching relationships can be therapeutic, this is not therapy. Clients are guided on how to become curious, honest, compassionate, and vulnerable with themselves in a way that invites growth and healing if they are willing to put in the uncomfortable work of grieving with intention.
My coaching style is client-driven without a set program or expectations, lasting as few or as many sessions as we agree are appropriate.
Sessions last 50-55 minutes and include a brief wrap-up email afterward. My hope is that you will be able to stay present and soft during the session itself, reconnecting with any established targets afterward via the email.
Areas of specialty:
Parent loss, child loss, compound losses, fertility, death by suicide, church/faith-based loss, community loss, estrangement, disenfranchised grief, ambiguous grief, & old/untended grief.
